M ESSRS. lIURSTS' ,AND ROBINSON'S COMMISSION. On Saturday the first Meeting of the bankrupts, Thom. H urst, John H u rst, a nd Joseph Ogle Robinson, took place b efore th e Commissioners, Messrs. Montague, Meggison, Ellison, se. at the Court, Baainghall-street. The business of the day was chiefly confin e d to receiving proofs of debts, but we believe the extent of the proofs aid not exceed 50,0001., though the liabilities of the leveret estates amount to. 580,0001. The following debts were P r( "red :—Sir Charl es O g l e , B a rt., of Hill-street, Berkeley ' .gnarl') 20,525/., on a bond, and interest ; Messrs. T. and J.

Kay, Brothers, and B.3 tt, 2 330/. ; Mr. Ilitehens, Threadneedle-street, 2,0101. ; Mr. &enders. bookseller, 3,000/, and interest on a bond. Mr. Hitchens asked the Solicitor under the Commission seve ral questions relative to the admission of Mr. Thomas Hurst into the firm (when he seceded from Longman and Co.'s) in January hue. In the first place, he wished to know if there was a deed of Putiterihip?—The Solicitor replied, that there was. Mr. Ilitchens asked to know if Mr. Thomas Hurst, on joining he firm, became entitled, by the deed of partnership, to a share r " the stock ?.....The Solicitor said, 'that by the t erms o f t h e d ee d, certainly became entitled to his share in the stock in trade. Mr. Ritehens said, the reason he asked was, because that if he "ecame entitled ton share in the stock, he had also become liable the d e b ts o f the concern..—The Solicitor s a id, th a t M r . l 'tchens roes' mistaken ; he was not liable to the debts of the Partnership' incurred prior to January. Several creditors ex pressed s urpr i se at this statement. The proofs being admitted,and he tender of the bankrupts taken, Mr. Montague signed their ) rotection, and the Court adjourne d. VICE CHANCERY NEW COURT.

THE FUNDS. The Public will have observed the violent fluctua tions which have taken place in the English and Foreign Securities during the last week, and it has been a matter of.some surprise that the English Funds maintained their ground so well, notwithstanding it was known in town, at an early period of the week, that disturbances of a most alarming nature had taken place at Manchester and the neighbourhood. It was only on Saturday that the Stocks were seriously af fected, when they fell 1 and 1 f per cent. opening 78k, and closing 77k. The state of the Money Market has altered materially during the last week—a quantay 4 money Stock having been brought to market, and money in consequence having become comparatively scarce. This circumstance has given fresh courage to the speculators for a fall ; and we confess that, looking at the unhappily disturbed state of Manchester and the neighbourhood, it would be unreasonable to expect that Stocks should rise ;.and particularly whilst the public mind is in such a state of inquietude as to -the ultimate result of these tu mults. Neither, in accounting for the depression of the Funds, can we shut our eyes to the want of confidence which still exists in the commercial world,, net' mercantile paper being now negociable except such as bears on it the names of parties of un doubted opulence. The consequence is, that the business in London is greatly contracted. Merchants and tradesmen must, in consequence, discharge their clerks, and contract their expellees, and hence the most serious apprehensions are entertained that Mi nisters will, amongst their . other difficulties, have to contend with a defalcation of revenue. The Foreign 'Securities have also fluctuated consi derably during the week, as will be seen from our daily report. City, 12 o'clock this day.

LATE REV. MR. WOGAN. (From the Dublin Evening Mail.) We stop the Press to announce the following :—Private infor mation having been given to Mr. Goodison, Chief Constable of College-street Police Office, relative to the murderers of that re spected deceased Gentleman, he proceeded this morning at five o'clock to Donnybrook, accompanied by a party of his Police, and succeeded in apprehending Robert Burgess, Denis Hine, George Stanley, and Mary Moore, who have, after a strict examination, • • been fully committed to Newgate for trial. We are in possession of all the circumstances relating to this barbarous transaction—but are induced to suppress, for the pre sent, the particulars, for the more effectual attainment of the ends of justice. • Denis Hines, one of the fellows above-named, has been fully identified by Mr. Bell, as one of the gang that robbed ;him of his watch and money on his return to the Rock, and which took place previous to the murder of Mr. Wogan. A duel was fought on Wednesday se'nnight, at Murrelgreen, near Horsham, between Lewis Gerrard, Esq., and Captain Smith, which originated in consequence of some dispute at a pigeon-match on the same ground. In the first fire Mr. Ger rard was wounded in the side seriously. Medical aid was afforded on the ground by a surgeon in attendance.--(Brighton Gazette.) SMITHFIELD MARKET, (Tura Day).

Secretary Peel received an express from the Lancashire Map. strates, acting in the disturbed districts in Lancashire, which required th e atten d ance o f the Right Hon. Gentleman, and Mr. Hobhouse, the Under Secretary of State, and several of the clerks, for a great part of the day. Yesterday the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Liver pool, and Mr. Secretary Canning, had •audiences of his Majesty. Mr. Huskisson transacted business yesterday, with Mr. Secretary Canning, at his office in Downing street. On Saturday morning a - meeting 'of the Cabinet Ministers took place at the early hour of ten o'clock, at the residence of the Earl of liverpoel, in. White hall, on the subject of the disturbed state of several parts of Lancashire. There were present, Mr. Secre, tart' Peel, the Chanaellor of the Exchequer, the. Earl of Harrowby, the Duke of Wellington, Viscount Mel ville, &c. 'They continued in deliberation till half past twelve o'clock, . when Mr. Secretary Peel retired to his office, where he was closely engaged the whole of the day. Messengers were dispatched from the Home-office in various directions. The Duke of York arrived in town at three o'clock, from Newmar, ket. His Royal Highness remained but a few minutes at his house in South Audley-street, during .which time. he partook of some refreshment, and then pro ceeded with all speed to his office in the Horse Guards, where Mr. Secretary Peel waited upon the,Royal Duke to lay before him the i4rmation he had received from Lancashire of the riotous proceedings of the cotton weavers in various parts, and also theresult of the delibe rations of. the Cabinet Ministers, which engaged their attention till past five o'clock, assisted by Sir H. Taylor, Military Secretary to the Commander-in-Chief: Among the military arrangements agreed upon was—the .ee cond battalion of the Coldstream. Regiment of Foot Guards to leave London at a late hour last night, or at a very early hour this morning, for Lancashire. The Duke of York . proceeded to the King's Palace, in Pall-mall, to report to his Majesty the particulars of the proceedings. His Royal Highness remained with the King till near seven o'clock. In the evening Mr. Bailey, the King's Messenger, was sent off with dispatches to General Sir John Byng, to take the military command of the Manchester dis trict. The Messenger was to pursue his journey with all possible speed to find Sir John.—lt was un derstood he was to proceed to Rotherham, in Yorkshire, as it Was not certain whether he had left Newmarket, as Sir John had been there a day or two before. He was to go by Newmarket. It is expected that his Grace the Duke of Devon, shire will leave town on Saturday next, to embark on board his Majesty's ship Gloucester, on his mission to St. Petersburgh. Mr. Croker entertained a distinguished Party at his house, at the Admiralty, yesterday. The Rev. Dr. Blomberg performed Di v i ne . S erv ic e yesterday at the King's Palace, in Pall Mall. Yesterday morning the Duke of York . and the Princess Augusta attended Divine Service at the Chapel Royal, St. James's . .' Prince Leopold honoured the Italian Opera with his presence on Saturday evening. The Earl of Westmorland transacted business at the Foreign Office yesterday.

LOVE OF MtSTERY.-M. de Viry, Minister of Piedmont in 1760, had such a love of mystery, that he prohibited his servants from telling that he had fallen sick. That did not prevent him from dying, and the King of Sardinia announced his death by this witty remark :—" M. de Viry is dead ; but he does not wish it to be known. ' Rivarol has said some- thing like this. He thus describes M. de Champ, an old man full of little secrets ;—He does not enter, but glides into a roam, passes the backs of the chairs, and , goes to establish himself in a corner ; and if one asks him how he does, Hush ! I beg of you,' says he ; is that a thing to ,talk of aloud ?' "—(Souvenirs et Melanges.) SLAVE fRADE.—A Memoir on this subject, ad , dressed to the Legislative Assembly of Brazil, by Jose Bonafacio,d'Andrada e Silva, a native of that country, has been lately published, and contains some , very im portant information, well deserving the attention of those who wish to make themselves acquainted with the question of slavery, and we therefore earnestly re commend it to the perusal of our readers.

JEDRURGH, APRIL 17.—This being a maiden Assize, the' Town Clerk, in name of the Provost of Jedburgh, according to ancient usage, presented the Judge and, the Functionaries of the Court with white gloves. Lord Gillies said he had very great pleasure in accepting this ancient testimonial, which lie re- gretted he had occasion to receive much seldomer than he could desire. He was not fond of adding to the burdens of the country, but, although he could not venture to , hope, yet he most sincerely wished, that the, town of Jedburgh were put to the same charge every six months. `Thursday last, as a poor woman was gathering mor. rells in a plantation in the occupation of J.

SuStxEu.—On observing the name of this Divine in the Gazette of the 25th ult., as recommended in his Majesty's cony e I d'elire to the Chapter of Llandaff to be Bishop of that See, and as appomted also to the Deanery of St. Paul's, we cannot forbear congratulating the Church on this accession of talent and sound ,piety to the Episcopal body, Dr. Sumner had been early distinguished for his abilities as a scholar; and his subsequent merit as .a Divine and a Preacher, were, we believe, the sole ground of his recommendation to the notice of the Sovereign, through the Nobleman in whose family he had acted as tutor. It was inethe regular dis charge of his duty as Domestic Chaplain to his Majesty, that he ticlivered a series of discourses upon " The Minis terial character of Christ, practically considered," which he sub sequently published. This work displays a happy union of ele gance of stele : soundnm of doctrine, and forcible practical ap, plication. Dr. Sumner received the fair reward of his merits in his successive promotion to Prebends of the Cathedrals of Wor cester and Canterbury, and his present elevation will doubtless I e considered equally a deserved honour to himself, and an acquisi• Lion to the Church. ICING'S THEATRE. The Opera of Romeo e Giufietta, by Zingarelli, was played on Saturday, ' for the purpose of introducing Madam Pasta as Romeo. She was in the finest possible voice, and ciecuted the whole of the part in capital style. In its construction the opera hears little resemblance to our tragedy. Its chief points are the sudden love of Romeo for Giulietta, and the catas trophe, which is perhaps the most pathetic that has ever been imagined. The principal scenes are, that in whiCh the lovers plight their vows, and that in the cemetery. Madam Pasta, in her manner of playing this part, does full justice to the com poser, and to the subject. She seemed, perhaps, a little lan guid in the beginning, but that passed away with the first scene; and during the rest of the opera, she expressed all the fer vour and passion which belong to the part. , In the duet with Giulietta (Madame Caradori), Dunque, mio beer, to sand, she breathed the very soul of tenderness ; hut it was in the last ' scene that she achieved her greatest triumph. The rich deep me lody of her voice, as she poured out the lament of the desperate Romeo over his mistress's tomb, had the most touching effect, and she sang that exquisite composition " Ombra adorata" at once in the first style of her art, and with a power and expression which it is impossible to praise too highly. It was applauded in the most rapturous manner, and the call for its repetition was uni versal. Her acting was hardly inferior to her singing, and short as the part is, and inferior to that in Shakspeare's tragedy, we could nut help wishing that some of the frosty, stilted Romeo's, whom we are occasionally condemned to see, would take a lesson from her, and imbibe, if they can, a portion of the spirit which ought to he in the character. Madame Caradori played Giulietta in such a, manner as to make us regret that she had not wore to do. The music is a little too , low, for Madame Caradori's voice, and, excepting the duet we have alluded to, and a short air, there are no pieces in the opera in which she could display the talent she is known to. possess. In the duet, which is one of the most delightful mor ceaux we know, she did all that could be done for it. Her voice harmonizes admirably with that of Pasta, and the sweetness and correctness with which she sang, made this, perhaps, the most charmity , part of the whole opera. She acksl the part admirably; the gentleness of her manners, and that peculiarly soft and feminine air which distinguishes her, are well adapted to the character of Giulietta. In the scene with Romeo preceding the duet, and in that in the second act where she drinks the opiate, she was emi mently successful ; and in the last scene, where she wakes from the tomb, she kept full pace with Pasta's best efforts. Although this character does not contain sufficient scope for Madame Caradori's powers, she makes it very delightful, and by her style of playing throws a charm about it, which is entirely her own. Porto, as Gilberto, had not much to do, but did it with all his heart. ~The Alpt.r44 was very well received by the fullest house thac:AIP!!),I , TO seen this season, and will, we suppose, (as we hope), be repeated during Pasta's stay, The very clever little ballet' ;called ,Le. /Jai: gionipett , e, followed, and owing to the slitirtnees of both pieces, the entertainments were concluded befure midnight. • IMuItY 7 LANI, TTEA-TII,E, The new fairy opera of Aladdin, which has been so long in preparation, was produced on Saturday night.

ZqEETING OF THE PRIVY. COUNCIL. On Saturday the Lords of His Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council assembled at the Council Office, Whitehall; to hoar French Appeals against the decision of the. Commissioners appointed to investigate the claims of British subjents.„ Their Lordships assemblcsi at halfrptist ten o'clock. . There were present the Earl of ILirrowhy,- as., the Lard President'; Lord Stowell, Lord Colchester, Lord Bexleyy and the Master of the Rolls. Sir . John Nicholl was prevented from giving his attend ance, in consentience of having received a severe injury from being thrown frani his horse, on Friday, in St. James's Park. The Earl,of Ilarrowby, after be had opened the Court, retired to attend a meeting of the Cabinet Ministers at the Earl of Liver pool's' house, at ,the breaking up .of which, at half past twelve o'clock, the Noble . Earl resumed his seat the Board. The .first Appeal was the case of, 44 Younghusband," which occupied hut a short time. The next Appeal was " Mrs.. Duffield and others," which oc— cupied the remainder of the day. Mr. Fonblanque and Mr. Carr were heard for the appellants ; and the King's Advocate and Mr. Tyndal, in opposition. It appeared that Mrs. Duffield, and other English women, six in number, had emigrated from England to France, and became proprietors of a Monastery in Paris, which 'was known by the name of the blue-eyed Nunnery, where Nuns were received, and Mrs. Duffield was elected Abbess, by 'the other inhabitants of the place, which had been established as a nunnery for about 200 years, sanctioned by the King of France and the Pope Alexander. At the time of the Revolution, in the year 1790 1 all Monasteries and similar religious establishments were abolished, which in cluded that of Mrs. Duffield. On the 10th October, 1793, a decree was issued, confiscating all British property, which included these premises. In the month of November, 1705, the property was restored, and in the year.l9oo it was again confiscated. During all th ese years, after the abolition, of the Convents, Monasteries, gin t Mrs. Duffield and other females connected, were alldwed to pursue the profisision of teaching young females; and, in purstring this course, it was contended that they had forfeited their character! as British subjects, and therefore had a good claim for the restoration of their confiscated property, which consisted of a hOuse, a church, and gardens. Her claim was opposed on various grounds, viz. that she had become a French subject ; that she had embarked her money in un illegal establishuvnt, which could not be considered. secular; their Lordships' decision. was urged in the case of Douay College as being against this ; and the only capacity she could claim was as a lay subject.
